Results of the Fanart Contest

└ posted on Monday, 11 April 2011, by Novil

After a slow start, I received a lot of great entries for the first Sandra and Woo fanart contest during the last weeks.

Let’s begin the countdown of the best entries with the places 6 to 10 (in no particular order). All of these pictures would have deserved to win a prize, but unfortunately for their creators there were some pictures I liked even more.

Place 5 and $10 go to Jonathan A. Ringor for this picture of Sandra and Cloud cosplaying as Yuna and, well, Cloud. I really like Sandra’s expression in this one.

Place 4 and $15 go to Andreas Nilsson for this nicely drawn picture of Sandra, Larisa and Woo enjoying a trip to a lake.

Place 3 and $25 go to Liliana Fernandez Mullins for the most interesting piece of the competition. Why is Sandra sitting on a bowl of water? Why is the tree hanging full of light bulbs? Maybe Liliana will enlighten us in the comment section.

Place 2 and $50 go to Alan Hong for the most dynamic picture that really manages to capture the speed of Sandra and Woo during their way downhill. I also like the shiny colors in this one.

But place 1 and $100 inarguably go to Solveig Hepp for this marvelously picture of Sandra and Woo going to a picnic. Sandra seems to have gone a bit overboard while packing, and Woo is not *really* helping her to pull the wagon up the hill.

All winners should send me an e-mail to novil@gmx.de with their Paypal account (or German bank account) information so that I can send them the prize money.

But let’s not forget the other entries. Several readers even send several pieces:

Hooray! I’m actually in the honorable mentions (mine is with Larisa as the new Human Torch).

I’m curious: there is an entry from a Tim Decker in the honorable mentions as well. Tim Decker is also the name of one of the people who used to work on “The Simpsons” and is currently an animation professor at UW-Milwaukee. I wonder if they are one and the same.

Hm… My favorite would have to be Liliana’s drawing. I love the adorable expression on her face, and the surreal background is awesome. Surrealism doesn’t always need to be justified though, so maybe there is no explanation for it.

Thanks Novil, I just emailed you! I’m glad you enjoyed my drawing.
It’s as Wolfen says… it doesn’t really mean anything… that’s how it came out in the initial sketches and I just ran with it.
Thank you for the kind words, guys :).

I got more enjoyment out of the 4th place contest winner’s work than I did the 3rd place winner. not that that matters since niether one actually won the competition. However, that’s the beauty of opinions, everyone has one and no one has to listen too it.
